    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder-3 is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the CC2D1A gene. The disorder is characterized by intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To date, 39 patients from 17 families with CC2D1A -related disorders have been reported worldwide, in whom only six pathogenic or likely pathogenic loss-of-function variants and three variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in the CC2D1A gene have been identified in these patients. METHODS: We described a patient with ID from a non-consanguineous Chinese family and whole-exome sequencing (WES) was used to identify the causative gene. RESULTS: The patient presented with severe ID and ASD, speech impairment, motor delay, hypotonia, slight facial anomalies, and finger deformities. Threatened abortion and abnormal fetal movements occurred during pregnancy with the proband but not his older healthy sister. WES analysis identified a homozygous nonsense variant, c.736C > T (p.Gln246Ter), in the CC2D1A gene. In addition, six novel likely pathogenic CC2D1A variants were identified by a retrospective review of the in-house database. CONCLUSIONS: This study expands the genetic and clinical spectra of CC2D1A-associated disorders, and may aid in increasing awareness of this rare condition. Our findings have provided new insights into the clinical heterogeneity of the disease and further phenotype-genotype correlation, which could help to offer scope for more accurate genetic testing and counseling to affected families.
